'SHOE-IEIIIN'ISHING MACHINE.

Application filed October 30, 1915.

To all whom itmay concern:

Be it known that I, JosnrH C. Wren, a citizen of the United States, residing at North Yakima, in the. county of Yakima and State of Washington, have invented a new and useful Shoe-Finishing Machine, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention appertains to shoe finishing machines, and aims to provide a novel and improved appliance of that character.

One of the objects of the invention is the provision of a shoe finishing machine embodying in connection with a main frame, a supplemental or secondary frame assembled with the main "frame for supporting a stitcher.

'With the foregoing and other objects in View which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in :the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of th'e invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is an elevation of the machine. Fig. 2 is a vertical section thereof taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

The main frame of the machine embodies upright end castings 01 standards 1 connected adjacent their lower ends or feet by a pair of longitudinal pipes 2 which are terminally secured to said standards, and said standards are connected between their upper and lower ends by a second pair of pipes 3 which have their terminals secured Within inwardly projecting apertured lugs 4 of the standards. The pipes 2 and 3 provide stays to rigidly'connect the standards.

The supplemental or secondary frame for supporting the stitcher (not shown) embodies an upright casting or standard 5 of less height than the standards 1, and a pair of upper longitudinal pipes or tubular members 6 having certain ends secured upon the upper end of the standard 5 by means of clamps 7 The other terminals of the pipes 6 fit slidably in the outstanding apertured lugs 8 of one of the standards 1, each of said Specification of Letters Patent.

standards 1 .being provided with outstandmg lugs 8 Opposite the respective lugs 4 and set screws 9 are carried by the lugs 8 for clamplng the pipes 6 in place. portions of the standard 5 and the respective standard 1 are connected by a longitudinal pipe or tubular member 10 which 1s connected to the standards by means of clamps 11. The pipes 610 project in one direction from the standards 5 and are applicable to either standard 1, so that the secondary frame or stand for the stitcher can be applied by reversing it, to either end of the main frame. The stitcher is supported upon the pipes 6, and is fastened thereto in any suitable manner.

A longitudinal shaft 12 is journaled in bearings 13 carried by the upper ends of the standards 1, and a second longitudinal shaft 14 is journaled in bearings 15 with which the standards 1 are provided below the bearings 13. The bearings are preferably prov-ided with lubricant cups 16 for lubricating the shafts.

Rearwardly projecting brackets 17 are attached to the main frame adjacent the ends thereof, and carry a longitudinal shelf 17 adjacent the upper ends and in rear of the standards. The said shelf can be used for holding shoes, implements, and other articles. Black and tan ink pots 18 are attached to the forward edge of the shelf 17 where they can be reached easily.

In order to operate the shafts '1214 an -incased electric motor 19 is mounted upon a shelf 2-0 is supported by means Of hangers 21 having their upper ends attached to cou- The lower plings or sleeves22 upon the pipes 3 between their ends. The armature shaft 23 of the electric motor 19 has secured thereon a ulley wheel 24 connected by an endless be t 25 with a pulley wheel 26 upon the shaft 14, and a second pulley wheel 27 u on the shaft 14 is connected by an endless elt 28 with a pulley wheel 29 upon the upper Thus, when the electric motor is operated, both shafts are rotated. An exhaust fan 30 is also mounted upon the shelf 20 and has the armature shaft 23 connected thereto, said fan having a suction conduit 31 connected to a hood 32 disposed below; and in rear of the shaft 14. A breasting wheel 33 is secured upon. one protruding end of the shaft. 14 remote'from the stitcher stand, and is partially inclosed by a hood 34 connected by a pipe 35 with the conduit 31, whereby the suction created by the fan 30 extends from the conduit 31 through the pipe 35 to the hood 34. This will draw in the dust iven off from the wheel 33. A pulley wheel 36 is keyed to the other protruding end of the shaft 14 and is adapted to be connected to the stitcher carried by the stitcher stand.

An emery wheel 37 is secured upon the protruding-end of the shaft 12 above the pulley wheel 36. The shaft 12 has secured thereon between the standards 1, a black bristle brush 38, a black wax finishing roll 39, a tan wax finishing roll 40, a combined bottom leveler and edge setter 41, and a tan bristle brush 42, said rolls and brushes being operated by the upper shaft 12. The lower shaft 14 has secured thereon above the hood 32, a sand scourin roll 43, a bottom sand scouring roll 44, and a breasting wheel or-scouring roll 45. The dust given off by the rolls 43, 44 and 45 is sucked into the hood 32 and is drawn to the fan 30 by the conduit 31. The dust can be discharged to the point desired from the fan.

Disposed loosely upon each exposed portion of each shaft, is a sleeve 46, said sleeve inclosing those portions of the shafts which would be otherwise exposed. The sleeves 46 can rotate with the shafts, but should the sleeve of the operator or other object engage one of the sleeves 46, it stops rotating, to prevent the fabric or other object being entangled with the shaft.

A key 62 is hun by a chain 63 from the forward pipe 3, w ereby the key 62 is always handy for use in taking care of parts of the machine.

thereto and projecting in one direction therefrom, each of the standards of the main frame having portions for receiving and clamping said members of the stitcher stand.

3. A shoe finishing machine embodying a main frame composed of end standards and a pair of longitudinal stays connecting them between their upper and lower ends, a longitudinal shaft journaled in the standards above said stays and having shoe finishing' means thereon, a shelf attached at one end to one standard below said stays, hangers connecting the other end of said shelf and said stays, a motor upon said shelf having a shaft operatively connected with theaforesaid shaft, an exhaust fan mounted upon said shelf and connected to the motor shaft, and a hood cooperable with said shoe finishing means and having a conduit connected to said fan.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
